… more fun than sippping salad through a straw …
[DESCRIPTION BY UNCLE RICKY, CONTRIBUTED BY JEFF MARCH]
This aircheck comes out of the gate like a winner. Glynn Shannon is ready to roll, he sounds friendly and happy, the TM jingles are great and the first two records are right on target for a midday 25-49 audience. And then, inexplicably, the station changes to the iPod format, right before our very ears. KGW, classic call letters going back to 1922, are tossed aside in favor of the jukebox concept. So, Super 62 stumbles a few minutes into this recording and never quite gets up again.
KGW had better days, for sure, but at least 620 Khz still had the call letters in 1979. In 2008, it’s KPOJ, a progressive talk format.
